Abstract

In the given article gives a an analytical overview of the factors of habitability urban ecosystems and their impact on population health. The peculiarities of chemical and dust pollution of atmospheric air, including tiny particles, which are products of nanotechnology. Is shown the particular vulnerability of urban dwellers to air pollution. Hundreds of millions of inhabitants of our planet suffer from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer. Discussion of problems effect on human hormone-like substances, phthalates, ozone and ultraviolet radiation. This article describes the effects of human economic activity, pollution of water resources, and features of the food problem and demography. The article examines the impact of human activity on climate change and associated with it potential risk of the spread of disease.

Keywords

habitability factors, health, air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, hormonelike substances, phthalates, nano products, the food problem, demography.
